17.01.2022 Thank you to our incredible clients who make our job worth it everyday A special thank you gift from a Thrive Clinic client who has finished their program with us and has learnt techniques to manage her condition and has regained confidence to get back to work. And in the words of her favourite Johann Wolfgang Van Goethe quote-... "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanised or de-humanised. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. You have the power of perception to be everything you want. Nurture the body and the mind and the spirit will thrive" See more

02.01.2022 A pelvic organ prolapse is a SYMPTOMATIC protrusion of the bladder, uterus or bowel into the vagina. 1 in 2 women will experience a prolapse in their lifetime, but only 10-20% will be symptomatic. The risk of prolapse may increase with age, and is most common following childbirth and menopause- key stages during a woman's life. You are at higher risk if you have a BMI > 30, are a smoker, have a chronic condition such as COPD or diabetes, or have a family history. Symptoms in...volve a feeling of heaviness, a lump or budge, constipation and difficulties emptying your bladder or bowels. Weight loss and exercise may slow the progression of a prolapse. And supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has been recommended for a period of 16 weeks for women with a stage 1 or stage 2 prolapse. Do you have a prolapse or simply want to learn more about your pelvic floor? Our unique approach means that we are able to combine PFMT with our Women's Health Physiotherapist, with resistance and aerobic based exercise and mindfulness practice- meaning we are considering the whole woman and reducing your risk of developing secondary conditions.
